I’m an independent contractor and I haven’t gotten paid for last week. It only takes a click of a button. Today, they asked to hop on a call for a meeting but I didn’t answer the text message. The meetings are never just 30 mins, it’s always a hour and a half or more. I didn’t feel like doing small talk and I have finally realized I’ve been doing basically free labor for them with the amount they’re paying me. They always dictate when I should talk to them, meetings, to the rate they’re paying me. Should I tell them my availability or send them an email stating that they haven’t paid me?
